This is a logpile in the process of being built... the wrong way! To make a stable pile, do not make 'unconnected walls' (here, there are three separate walls) otherwise there is a greater risk of collapse!
Disaster strikes! I was building up the pile in the previous picture and this happened.
Oh dear oh dear! I've a bit of work to do now!
The rebuilt logpile!
